## What is PingApp?

PingApp helps its users (pingers) link up easily by providing directions to each other upon request "ping". One can become a pinger by downloading the application from the store and registering his or her phone contact based after selecting their country code.

Upon registration the application then cross checks the user’s contacts and identifies those that are already registered with the application and displays these as pingers. This enables the current user (pinger) send location requests (pings) to the fellow pingers displayed by the application, this can be done by tapping on the contact . 

When location request (ping) is received by your phone it lets you know which of your contacts (if a saved contact or shows you the pinger’s phone number) has sent you a ping and a short text giving reason for the ping made, by this time you can either accept or decline the request. If you decline the ping the application deletes it and a notification is pushed to the pinger that sent you that request.

On acceptance the application seeks your permission to get your current location and it shares this with the pinger who receives a notification indicating that you have accepted his or her request and therefore can be able to locate you without further disturbances of seeking for directions by  starting a turn by turn navigation application that is already installed on the user’s device if not the user is required to have one installed
